    Camera Geeks

    I am trading in my film camera stuff and they are giving me $100.00 which is better than throwing it out. So what do I buy. I am looking at around $400.00 and want something that I can screw filters on to the lenz. I was looking at a Canon Powershot SX20 12.1 MP digital. The wide angle lenz is...

    Happy Thanksgiving to all our Troops

    I don't know if any of you GIs are on here, and Being in that situation in the past I know it's very hard, but I really hope you are all home with your families for next Thanksgiving. Hopefully, a lot sooner. That is the most important thing. Take care and be safe.

    ASW or NSW (paul b)

    Hurtback, I will try to answer your questions. My reef was originally started with all NSW. That was about 40 years ago and I am sure none of that water is still in there. Now for top offs I use RO/DI water and for the most part for water changes I use ASW. I only collect NSW in the summer and I...

    Mating Behavior

    Mad Reefer, no I didn't say frozen food was bad, I said food that does "not" need refrigeration is not the best food thre is. Frozen food is great, it is almost the same as fresh. I feed almost the same as you do except for the blood worms which are not really worms but insect larvae and not a...

    Get corals off the sand

    Mfisher, that is plastic window screen wrapped around the bent PVC. Much of my rock was built this way and almost all of my rockwork is supported off the bottom by columns of cement coated PVC. It can be built in any shape for practically free. I build it to support rocks or individual corals...

    Mating Behavior

    Mark, feeding a varied diet is not always the answer. Different fish ned different food. A copperband butterfly does not need vegetable matter nor does a mandarin. They get the vitamins they need from the meaty foods they eat. Most tangs need greens and seahorses need live food. All of their...

    Get corals off the sand

    I don't even know what the topic is but the thing is made out of a PVC skeleton with cement over it. Some of it is real rocks. Here is a 3' piece that has beeen in my tank for many years. I like this stuff because it is hollow and offers a great place for bacteria. It is also practically free to...

    Mating Behavior

    Yes but not those gobies. I have only raised seahorses, blue devils, clownfish and bangai cardinals. The rest I just let do what they do in my tank. The bluestripped pipefish fry can't even been seen and these gobies spawn all the time, someday if I have time I will collect the eggs and raise them.

    Stir things up

    Yes, I know, stupid title. I don't know about you guys but I like to try to keep things natural. A perfectly clean sterile envirnment is neither natural or healthy. We all have a little detritus hiding somewhere, some of us have mountains of it. This material is mostly beingn but it is composed...

    I have to look for my old Army guys. Just look at him, he is all over her like a cheap suit. Thats because she walks around with that short shell on. You can see too much leg, she is just too much for that guy little tease that she is.
